Question

Define the terms 

1. amplitude 

2. period 

3. frequency 

4. phase related with a particle executes SHM.

Answer 1

1. Amplitude: Maximum displacement of the particle from the mean position is called amplitude. 

2. Period : Time taken by the particle to complete one oscillation is called time period. (T) 

3. Frequency : The number of oscillations completed by the particle in one second is called frequency (f) 

4. Phase: Phase of a particle is defined as the fraction of the time period that has elapsed since the particle last passed through its mean position in the positive direction.
